How big a bore is too big?
mark davidson:
I have a custom Jack Garner flinter in .54 cal. that I love. I have a notion for something "bigger". How big is too big? I know I will go above .58 to maybe .62. Then again I may go bigger than that! I shoot mostly white tail deer and hogs and my .54 is plenty big enough. I just "WANT" a real shoulder bruising game slammer cause I like looking at that big ole hole in the end. :-) Still I want acceptable accuracy out to 100 yards with reasonable trajectory. I am fairly newly obsessed with this whole black powder thing but I am having a great time. Your suggestions will be appreciated. The rifle will likely be a jager with barrel length in the 30 to 38" range.

Boy, wait till you talk to Bigsmoke. He'll talk big bores with you.
mark davidson:
Thanks, I am looking forward to any and all opinions.

"too big" is whatever you CAN'T shoot!!

Yep, that fella strongly believes in "use enough gun", for anything that just might come along.
